Abstract:
Comparision diameter of the cervical spinal canal and calculate Pavloc index of 40 nomal adults aged 25 to 55 in standard lateral radiographs and MRI showed that: The average indexs in MRIs are: from C3 to C10: 12,82 ±0,93mm and 0,95 ± 0,10. From C3 toC7: 12,9 ± 0,91mm and 0,95 ± 0,10. From C1 to C7: 13,6 ± 0,83mm and 1,25± 0,10, in radiographs are: From C3 to C6: 17,35 ± 1,12mm and 0,98 ±0,08. From C3 to C7: 17,46 ±1,26mm and 0.98 ± 0,08. From C1 to C7: 18,5 ±1,19mm and 1,26 ± 0,09. The pavlov index in MRI are smaller than that in standard lateral radiographs but they are not different significally
